A Letter from Chief Nursing Officer Karen Colby

Posted By Karen Colby

Welcome to Nursing at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab

Body

Our organization has experienced so many changes since our last Magnet status certification four years ago.

In 2017, we moved into a gorgeous, award-winning, new building in Chicago’s Streeterville neighborhood, rebranded with a new name (old: RIC; new: Shirley Ryan AbilityLab) and implemented a new nursing professional practice model!
